Our group tour with Stella was wonderful! She was so personable, friendly, and knows the city so well. She gave us a very generous glimpse into the history and culture of Siena from a native's perspective. We were a group of 2 faculty and 9 students visiting Siena for only a short day trip. She answered many questions ranging from the typical to the unexpected. Our class learned a lot about the everyday experiences of folks living in Siena today, as well as the big draw of the medieval city. Stella was the best guide we could have hoped for on our journey!
